You want to know the real reason why I visit the blog on a bi-daily basis? It isn’t the guns, or the stories, or even the intelligent (and often hilarious) conversations that take place in the comments. Nope, the only reason why I visit this blog is to stoke my own ego. Because no matter how much of a virginal loser I may be, I will never, EVER, be as goddamn fucking retarded as Rich Graham, James Yaeger, Cokeman, those assholes on “Today,” or whoever made these Osama Zombie films.

Really? Like a biennial plant? Like a biannual flight review? Like a biweekly paycheck? Like a bicentennial?

Nah, because everybody knows that a biennial plant takes two years to complete its life cycle. And a biannual flight review occurs once every two years. A biweekly paycheck comes once every two weeks. If you instead get paid on the first and the fifteenth of the month, that’s a semimonthly paycheck, not a “bimonthly” paycheck.

I guess what you’re trying to say is that 2 can also mean ½. You can maintain that you’re correct if you want, but the wise thing to do would probably be to concede that you either misspoke or misunderstand what “bi-daily” would mean.

With respect to time, it is almost universally understood that when something is “biweekly,” it occurs every two weeks, not twice a week. It can be a little confusing because of the way the prefix “bi” is used in other contexts. You’re going to look pretty foolish when you go to work at Wal-Mart on your summer off from college and you expect your biweekly paycheck to come two times a week.

Well no shit, I understand that words have different meanings depending on the context.

Kind of like if someone comments on a website everyday and says he visits on a “bi-daily basis” it probably means he logs on twice a day and not every other day.

And one last thing, you spend 2 or so hours debating online about fucking semantics with an internet troll, but the second evidence is provided to prove you’re wrong you suddenly don’t have the time? Is your ego so big that, despite all your victories, you can’t stand to be wrong at least once?

…but the second evidence is provided to prove you’re wrong you suddenly don’t have the time? Is your ego so big that, despite all your victories, you can’t stand to be wrong at least once?

I can stand to be wrong, when I feel that I am. It’s been known to happen. Perhaps this is a function of me existing in a grownup world of business where, for business and legal purposes, the prefix “bi” preceding a unit of time means once every two cycles.

I can’t say that your evidence provided to prove me wrong is very compelling. The Merriam Webster site defines biweekly as:

I don’t know that they could be any less decisive on the issue. However, if you really want to get down to it, I would be willing to bet that you check this site more than twice daily, so your original statement is almost certainly false anyway, regardless of what you intended it to mean.
